The annual Black Hat security conference, which kicks off in Las Vegas later this month, is full of sessions showcasing the latest research on vulnerabilities and defenses.
With more than 80 presentations, the conference can be overwhelming, so the organizers on Thursday highlighted some of the more interesting talks being planned for this year.

Black Hat is about creating conversations that challenge the security industry to look at things differently, Robert Richardson, the conference's editorial director, said during a webinar. The event is "committed to putting things out there that [are] going to ruffle some feathers," he said.
